What room should I book?

How do I login?

Click the login button at the top right of the website, and you will be redirected to log in with your Kent credentials. Once you have correctly logged in, you will be brought back to the Lab booking system with the ability to book labs.

Why can't I delete/alter a booking?

In order to delete or alter a booking, you must be logged in as the
same person that made the booking. Contact one of the booking room
administrators or the person who initially made the booking to
have it deleted or changed.

How do I create a booking?

Clicking on the desired time brings you into the booking screen. Fill in
the details and click "Save".

Instead of clicking on the desired time you can select a time range and
also a room or day range by dragging the cursor over a group of cells in the
day or week views. When the mouse is released you will be taken to the
booking screen and the time slots and the room or day range will have been
filled in for you.

What is the difference between fifth and last?

When making a monthly recurring booking, the fifth weekday of every month
is just that. If a month does not have a fifth weekday then no booking will be
made for that month. If you choose the last weekday of the month then a
booking will be made on the fourth weekday if there is no fifth weekday.

Fifth last works in a similar way, but counting backwards from the end of
the month. Using first will give you the fourth last weekday of the month
if there is no fifth last weekday.

How do I delete one instance of a recurring booking?

How do I schedule rooms at different sites?

You don't. Presently the system cannot book two different rooms simultaneously.
You must schedule each one separately. Make sure that the time you want
is available at both sites before making a booking.

My booking failed to be created because of too many entries!

What happens if multiple people schedule the same booking?

The short answer is: The first person to click on
the Submit button wins.
Behind the scenes, the system is using a proper multi-user, multi-threaded
relational database than can handle many thousands of simultaneous users.

What is the difference between Internal and External?

By default, MRBS defines two booking types. Internal means that the
booking will only be attended by employees. An External booking
might also be attended by customers, vendors, investors, etc. Your site
can define up to a total of 10 booking types, according to your needs.
Bookings are highlighted in the main calendar view with a color corresponding
to their type, and a color key of all defined types is shown at the bottom
of the main calendar view.
